THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

6 Up, Halfway Through Golf Fis

CHICAGO, July 18.— Uncle Mike Jacobs popped in and out of here today leaving the Windy City more windy as a consequence. It was a conversational wind and it had to do with the next appearance of Joe Louis in defense of the heavyweight championship. While Uncle Mike didn’t say yes and he didn’t say no, a. performance of ambiguity not difficult for him, the good citizenry of the lake front seemed to gather the impression that when the : Brown Bomber ! crawls through the ropes again it will be out : here. Prominent among the aforementioned citizenry is Sheldon Clark who happens to be not only the chairman of the Illinois Athletic Association but : one of the most Bostik uc influential ‘Mike Jacobs Sportsman in - the Middle West. He belongs to that group of which the late Tex Rickard always Yeferred tenderly as “the best people.” Both in his capacity as chairman and sportsman Mr. Clark is eager to bring the fight here and he is the stubborn, energetic type of man who leaves no stone unturned. :

# ” 2

WE MISSED UNCLE MIKE on his hit and run stop here but we had a long talk with Mr. Clark and we are convinced that if there is any way for Chicago to steal the fight from New York it will be stolen. We trust it isn’t necessary to.add the theft will be conducted with meticulous respect to law and order. “I'm the kind of fellow,” Mr. Clark told us, “that refuses to take anything for granted until the contracts are signed, sealed and delivered. That's the attitude i must take in respect to this fight. However, it is my private and confident belief we will get it. Jacobs is a good business man. Weg have tried to convince him he can make more money here than in-New York. Once that is done we'll have the fight.”

~ Mr. Clark knows his man. There

is no record that Uncle Mike was ever unduly swayed by words of honeyed sweetness, sentimental gestures or civic sacrifices. If the mbney is here Uncle Mike will be very broad minded and generous about the whole thing; he will come in here and take it. ' All this has to do with Louis and Nova, if you failed to guess.” Louis won his title from Braddock hére and hasn't displayed his’

since. . +... “There is a possibility

will make it tough on two carloads curate of these shooters will carry off an estimated $7000 in prizes, including two automobiles. While all this shooting is going on at the gun club, the board of directors of the National Skeet Shooting Association will be in session downtown. At this meeting the Capitol City Gun Club will seek to have Indianapolis named as the “home club” for national skeet, thereby assuring the city the national championships every year and putting this layout on a par with Vandalia, O., home of the trapshooters. The more commercial-minded of our citizens might be interested to know that such an accomplishment would net Indianapolis roughly a half million dollars annually.

Glamor Girl

Those in charge of the national shoot don’t expect to want for big names. Among the crack shots entered will be Dick Shaunnesy, holder of every national amateur skeet title and the winner of his first national championship at the age of 14. Then there will be Patricia Laursen, skeet’s glamour girl who gave the sport a big lift when her likeness appeared recently on Life's front cover. Another title seeker will be Bobbie Parker, a Culver student from Tulsa, Okla., who won the Land of the Sky Money Shoot in 1939, biggest cash event in the game. Capitol City expects to supply’ its own quota of winners, 100, For instance, there’s Graydon Hubbard, & local: member who holds the national professional title. Previously he captured virtually every amateur championship, and the professionals still ‘are gunning for his record of breaking mdre than 500 consecutive registered targets. :

Two Carloads of Clay Pigeons To Hit the Dust at Skeet Shoot

Ten thousand dollars’ worth of ammunition is stored now at the Capitol City Gun Club, waiting to be blown to practically nothing by 1000 of the nation’s crack skeet shooters. ° : . : These marksmen will begin getting a when the national championships start, and for the next five days they

Indiana state 20-gauge champion —Leonard Solomon, merchant. Indiana state small gauge champion—Booker. Indiana women’s champion—Ruth McCutcheon, housewife. : Skeet shooters say now that the Capitol City layout is the “last word” in gun clubs, The 12 fields make it the world’s largest layout, and all are electrically synchronized. This means that during the national shoot 66 marksmen can be accomodated simultaneously, and in a single-day 700 shooters can fire away at 100 birds apiece. And now, a word about the Capitol City Gun Club itself and its history. The club, a non-profit organization open to the public, was founded in 1933 by 50 men, aboul half of whom were interested in skeet and the other half in the fishing possibilities of the gravel pits which abound the club grounds on the north side. Those 25 skeeters represented about all the skeet marksmen in Indianapolis at that time. Today, however, the club boasts a membership of 550—and they're all scattergun experts. : Wonder what happened to the

fishermen?
